## About

```text
At UBS, I coordinate Data Mesh quality-platform onboarding and define Data Product requirements, quality dimensions, taxonomy, rules, and scoring. I also partner on ontology and canonical data models that support consistent Data Product use, including AI agent data consumption.

I've led cloud-based instrument-data onboarding, legacy-to-cloud profiling and mapping, and multi-vendor feed onboarding across UBS, Credit Suisse, Capco, Infosys, Wipro, and State Street. My work spans ESG and CSDR regulatory data, securities lending, wealth-management migrations, data quality controls, and Python automation that reduced QA effort from one day to about two hours.
